Differing grades of diesel?

Hello all,
On my drive to work I drive past several garages, with differing fuel costs
for diesel ranging from 81p through to 85 for Tescos to Shell respectively.
My question is, can I fill up with the el-cheapo diesel without worry?

I've recently moved to diesel after a sports car that drank only Optimax, so
am used to "exotic" fuels only...

Thanks,
AndyC

I only tend to worry when I fill up with expensive diesel.

Only problem really seems to be lack of sulphur content in some to lube the
pump. Try adding Millers Diesel additive, not from Halfords but a decent
indipendant should see some on the shelf.

Good insight, however, doesn't that negate the point of buying cheap fuel?

Good point, however, cheap fuel would be a false economy if you required a
pump because the fuel was crap enough to grind out the bearings. Once got
some diesel ( in the good old days ) from a roadside bloke in Benin, cheap
but I had to filter out the gravel that came with it )
